Cindy Holscher on Immigration

 

 


Bar federal immigration enforcement near polling locations

Kansas Senator Cindy Holscher (D-Overland Park) helped introduce legislation banning federal immigration enforcement within 400 feet of polling places. Senate Bill 507 would bar the enforcement of federal immigration laws near polling locations and areas used for canvassing, auditing or recounting ballots. Violators could face up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine under the proposal.

Holscher said the measure aims to protect voters from intimidation. "This bill will help legal Kansas citizens cast their ballots without fear of harassment or intimidation," Holscher told KCTV5. "The unfortunate truth is that ICE agents have been caught repeatedly intimidating and even detaining legal U.S. citizens simply for expressing their viewpoints."

"We can't allow that to happen near polling places," she added. "Federal authorities have no business harassing citizens exercising their constitutional right to vote based on their race, ethnicity, or political views."
